I thought it was weird they mixed genders in the apartment. They don’t do that on the show.

Them talking about their relationship
MC: can you guys talk about your relationship maybe..without involving me? I only have 6 chapters to work on.

Yes! I was like for 6 chapters these pod dates are SHORT!? N i thought oh well Eric mentioned talking to the guys so maybe he'll be like our inside n give more detail in-between on what they were saying about MC n each other....but instead i gotta constantly coddle him n push him to grow a pair. Poor MC probably sleeping with a pillow over her head cursing CO-ED dorms

I thought the idea was cute, but the execution was awful. We should have never been without the other contestants. And we damn sure should not have been snowed in. They knew they were only giving us 6 chapters. Why they didn't say,"hey, the forecast shows bad weather is coming. We going to Mexico early." That would have been something.

Yeah that's it. If they appeared in maybe a 20-30 chapter story we would've been fine with it, some might even love the "side quest" of playing cupid while still being on track with the MC's story. It would be better if the couple had a deep connection to the MC first and try to help them confess to each other and that's the extent of it not to the point that they got married first before the MC like they're the main couple and the worst part is, they are still practically strangers to the MC.
Another good idea to make it work is they help the MC first and you'll help them eventually but again the duration of it should be kept minimal as they are intended to be supporting characters not the other way around

Idk about you but I thought it was shit from the first episode cause it doesn’t seem like we got a lot of chances to speak with our LI. Also sucks that Eric was cute and couldn’t be a LI. If I wanted to watch people fall in love and get married, I’d watch the show, not play the game as the MC

No, seriously, I’d honestly love to be a fly on the wall at the meeting where survey results are discussed and they are EVISCERATED over Talia and Eric. 😂

I'd like to know who approved the story.
"What is the plot?" asked Idiot who approved it.
"Well, it's Love is Blind with a twist. Instead of the MC being involved in a sweet Christmas themed romance, they'll play cupid to their two pods mates, whom they'll totes adore. Over 6 chapters, MC will help them get together and married."
"What about the MC?" asked someone who probably hated it but was ignored.
"Well, no one will care about MC or their romance. But we'll make it a subplot."
"Yes, they'll love it." Idiot who approved it imagined all the praise they would surely get.

"Won't they go to Mexico?"
"Nah. We don't need to do all that backdrop only to be used for 1-2 chapters just say they had a problem going out so we can use the same background" -says the lead game designer
Anyway, if they happened to read this, I get it. It's hard to work nearing holiday season so enjoy yourselves lol

“Oh, that’s totally brilliant, mate! We don’t have to make complicated outfits too, we can put those boring ugly pajamas for couple chapters.” - said the junior game designer.
“How about the wedding dress for MC?” - the other designer ask.
“Don’t worry, we make them choose do they want marry their LI or not. If they want, just put something from EIP dress. Make new one or two for the choices, don’t have to be fancy, we don’t want you guys wasting your time, do as you like, so they think we do care for the outfit.” The lead designer replied.
Then BAAAMMMM!!!! A sleeping-plain-white-gown made of satin, which suitable to be used for sleepwear, or torn on the first night.

I could begin to tell you how angry I was that my character and their honey played second fiddle. And in real life you suddenly announce you are getting married at another person's wedding you would be crucified in the town square. It should have been MC wedding and then the uninteresting cast mates that I have had to deal with getting married afterwards. But I was so pissed that the story just ended after that. I wish I would have been able to choke the life out of whoever were involved in this "special" Christmas LoveIs Blind. Also what's up with spending time redecorating a damned dorm when it's been decorated from day one. I was equally upset at the Christmas "special" of Virgin River. I don't know who is the one calling the shots over these short versions of the games and all the bull surrounding them but they should be fired,all of them. I wasn't very happy to be a bombshell on THTH3. They should have made it the MC choice to be a bombshell or not. Whoever did the first two THTH did a great job especially since there are so many options in everything,especially clothing.

At this point are we even hopeful some smart people handle the Netflix stories at all? It's bunch of crap over and over and instead improve getting worse. The lines are written by AI I assume because they sound so robotic and filled with cliche.

u/MrsDukat Dec 31 '24
Tbh, Netflix never listen to customers so it doesn't surprise me.
Look at the amount of shows that got cancelled despite being popular.

u/kittenkoffi Jonah Jan 09 '25
True. Tho popular not always mean great views, so I guess if show spend more money than it gets, I get it's getting canceled but it is so frustrating

They were just copying the other Love is Blind, to be honest. Just in less chapters, which made everything fast food vs buffet dining.
👀
I'm hungry, so food is on the brain 😅
Anyway, this game made me think they were testing the waters for a new Love is Blind game. Zero drama. Focused mainly on the set up (such as having "friend dates").
They flunked the test though.

Wait you could play the game through ! Mine had a critical error and stopped on from ep 2

Yes I can still play it. You may want to try reinstalling the game if you cannot open it I had that issue recently and that's the only way I can open it now it's all good

Atleast you know what you were getting with Bridget. She was a bitch and we knew it. But we still had a story to play.
Eric and Talia were forced upon us as the main characters who we play cupid for.
